Question about the Ipad 2 and How many Pass-code attempts you have

I recently found my old Ipad2 from years back and i have been trying to get into it, I can not remember the pass-code and i was up to my Ninth attempt to get it correct, i had just waited an hour because it locked me out.

so i try again and it is wrong, and this was my 10th Attempt because it had previously locked me out for an hour and according to the Internet after the 9th failed attempt you have to wait an hour.

But this morning my ipad was no longer showing the disabled screen even after i got the 10th attempt wrong? why is this? shouldn’t i be disabled forever? and all through my attempts my ipad has never said “Ipad Disabled Please wait X Minutes”

it’s only ever said “Ipad Disabled” so what is the deal with this? i thought perhaps maybe years ago i made it so i have infinite password attempts but that would not make sense because i still have to wait X amount of time after failed attempts, but i should be locked out forever after my 10th try but i’m not.
